    the swarming locust has eaten.
What the swarming locust left,
    the hopping locust has eaten.
And what the hopping locust left,
    the destroying locust has eaten.
⁵ Wake up, drunkards, and weep!

    for it is cut off from your mouth.
⁶ Because a nation has invaded^[a] my land,
    strong and beyond counting.^[b]
Its teeth are the teeth of a lion,
    and its fangs are those of a lioness.
